because it started in may of last year with this scoop from the ap that the cia had foiled an al-qaeda suicide bomb plot being planned around the anniversary of osama bin laden's death, the plot being orchestrated by an affiliate in yemen that involved an upgrade of the underwear bomb in detroit on christmas day in 2009 and get this. that the fbi actually had the bomb in its possession, had managed to get its hands on the bomb and was examining it to see whether it could have passed through airport security. the ap did not publish this when it first had the information because intelligence operation was still underway. so if he pulls the story and they do report on the plot only after they learn the white house itself planned to release the information in a public announcement. the ap's report was published one day ahead of the white house's planned announcement. now, while this all sounded like a good news kind of story, they managed to get the ball, right? the fact the ap got a hold ahead of time and the cia was saying the operation was not incomplete, that got capitol hill worried.
